Diplu's Original Indian Brasserie in Neath Port Talbot

I used this restaurant for delivery rather than a sit down meal. So I can not comment on the service per say. That said, to me there are three things that make a good delivery from a restaurant. Speed, temperature and quality. This place excelled on all three. I was told that the food would be there asap and 35 mins later there was a knock on the door. Food was piping hot, none of that throw it in microwave to heat it up rubbish and as for quality. Can only discribe the food as a big bucket of yum. Highly recomended thanks.

We had a takeaway. The chicken korma was ‘out of this world’. The chips - the best we have ever tasted and the peshwari naan was delicious. Service was first class. Will definitely go again. More than 5 stars. Ian & Jan

Food absolutely amazing, full of flavour, great service, great food

Worst Indian we’ve had from around port talbot. Flavourless and just awful

Lovely well priced food highly recommended them

Our goto takeaway restaurant; food is stunning piping hot, delicious with a plenty of choice menu to suit everyone's test. We highly recommend 👌

Lovely welcome and a fantastic meal. Spices mixed to perfection. Thanks for a lovely meal , we will be back soon.

Food was stunning. Flavoursome and the fire cracker definitely lived up to its name.

14 of us went for a meal this evening. Amazing food, excellent service, lovely chilled atmosphere. Really good service with please staff

Myself and my betsie come to the restaurant every other Friday the quality and the service is 100% you are not rushed at all ot is a amazing place to eat the food is always fresh and Diplu has even suggested different meals that he thought we would like the staff go above and beyond. Well worth a visit .

Great service and lovely food. If Dawat was to be the Mercedes-Benz of food it would be an AMG! Many thanks, Neil.

Discovered this place tonight and ordered for the first time. Food was beautiful and delivery on time. Chicken tikka kebab and chutney tray were particularly speacial. Very impressed and will be back.

Very decent owner, very polite and attentive, food was incredible . I had the chicken naga with garlic rice and a naan bread, was excellent. Strongly recommended.

Absolutely amazing dining experience here at dawats love the fact that nothing is too much trouble for the staff here including the chef. The food is top quality so tasty and quick service always leave feeling full and satisfied. The staff are super friendly and indulgent while working hard to make sure your dining experience is enjoyable. The atmosphere is lovely as is the decor and ambiance 10/10 would recommend and ask the staff if you are unsure of what to eat they have some fantastic suggestions.

Had a takeaway after a long journey home by train. Will be honest wasn't my furst choice as I had not been impressed before -I am now ! Lovely tasty food balti and kebab a real stand out . Excellent delivery service friendly driver . I will most definitely use again

Amazing Indian I’d be tempted to say the best in port Talbot so friendly and always happy to help even going as far as making something that’s not on the menu thanks again guys

Great food and great staff, a lovely sit down meal

Not like it was when Ray ran it with his family.... menu is poor . Food was plain. Shame really was looking forward to a nice meal and ended up expensive for small portions ... room to improve sorry 😞

Very comfortable, very polite staff and helpful also friendly, definitely be telling more people to visit, and I will be back again soon

Amazing food. We actually ate here yesterday, the food was so good we had it again the day after. Takeaway both times, but the food was really nice. Very consistent. The madras is genuinely hot. I like hot and it was warm for me! The staff are really lovely too. You can tell the place was established in the 70s, as the experience really shines through in the food quality and customer service 👍 I genuinely think you will struggle to find a better Indian in the area. I have tried many others, but it would be extremely difficult to beat the quality here.

We walked in for dinner around 7pm on a Friday based on good reviews and the restaurant was completely empty. That said, a large group of young men came in after we'd ordered. Service was fine, but after enjoying our poppadoms the experience left a lot to be desired. The butter chicken was quite sweet and coconutty, more like a korma. It was also swimming in sauce as you can see in the picture. The half chicken tandoori looked like a showstopper when it came out of the kitchen, but was dry and flavourless. The chicken jalfrezi was far too spicy (I love spice). It seems like this restaurant has been a local favourite in the past, maybe we picked the wrong menu items but this didn't seem like authentic curry and we won't be returning unfortunately.

Nice simple menu! Friendly service on pick up and lovely, hot food with plenty of chicken :) would def order again

Good service and delicious food i personally recommend to try all foods in the menu.

Nice food, frindly service, and good atmosphere. We enjoyed our evening

Just had a takeaway, wow, beautiful

Just ate at this restaurant. Called in off the motorway on an off chance……wow! What amazing food & cobra beer a must with a curry. The young lad behind the bar was so welcome and very switched on. All the people in there were lovely. What a find, definitely come to this place. Much nicer than the services any day. Thank you 😊

Nicest chicken tikka masala in port Talbot area. So much flavour. Was delicious food all around. My partner thoroughly enjoyed his madras too.

We ordered the chicken tikka kebabs for delivery We also ordered sides of chips and onion bhajees. Plus, a masala sauce Absolutely delicious swift delivery and still hot Really good sized portion

Lovely food, would definitely recommend. Amazing service, Mitchell went above & beyond.

First time to have a takeaway from here and I have to say I was not disappointed. Portion size was great. Flavours were spot on and all in all a perfect meal. Very friendly staff on collection.

Literally couldn't fault this place. Popped in 2wk after they opened as we stumbled past having diverted off the motorway. Actually arrived 15min before they opened. Really accommodating. Great food. Young fella who served us was frickin hilarious. Top experience.

Work at this place delivery driver and things I seen that cos on in kitchen is appalling rice is pre cook then warm in microwave chicken and meats all open on counter and floor mints sauce and dips not fresh stuck in fridge for weeks owner smokes in restaurant

What has happened to my favourite Indian restaurant? Ray the boss has gone and so it seems have a lot of other things. The portion sizes are smaller, the menu has shrunk to the basics, the spice has almost disappeared from the curries. I ordered a Jalfrezi tonight which is usually medium hot but this one was just mild and bland. The rice was only half a portion in the tub. If it was just one of us that felt that things had gone downhill then maybe fair enough but all of 3 of us who ordered were very disappointed to say the least. I won’t be returning and I’m sad about that as I like supporting local businesses but this Indian has lost its way big time. Time for a rethink please guys

We dined at this restaurant on Saturday 4th Feb, we ordered popadoms and the usual chutneys that come out with them to start. My wife found a hard piece of plastic in amongst the onion and my friend found a small pointed piece of plastic in the salad. We mentioned this to the waiter who said “are you kidding me they did last night too .”My friend who has worked in catering for over 40 years told him to stop serving the starters straight away as it was dangerous but this went straight over the waiters head. To make matters worse every time the waiter came back to serve us he kept making plastic jokes! We had travelled a considerable distance to dine here. The only reason we went here was because our first choice was fully booked. We will never go here again. Avoid at all costs!!!

1st time and will definitely be going back, it was delicious and no doubt best I've had in a long time, friendly and helpful staff also 5*

First time to try and will definitley return. Really friendly, swift service and amazing food. Free chutney tray and popadoms were appreciated and the chilli and mint sauces were to die for. Overall it was so nice that I forgot to take a pic and devoured it instantly :).

Amazing food tonight, very reasonably priced! I will return in a hurry! ☺️ Staff very polite and excellent service! Highly recommend!! 👏🏻

Nice food and good portions, delivered quickly as well.

Must try Paneer jalfrezi special dish recommended by chef

Just had a meal in Dawat Indian restaurant, what a brilliant meal, the portions are massive ( brought home a doggy bag that'll last me for breakfast dinner and tea). They really looked after the 4 of us, I really hope that they continue to always have the same atmosphere in the future. You got to try this Indian. Thanks for a great night Dawat.

Tasteless Tikka. Hard and inedible chicken. Curry sauce floating in oil. Avoid if you want good food. Don't believe the reviews, they are for the previous owner of Diplus.

WOW delicious food and good portion sizes. Very friendly service and will definitely be back soon. Recommend a visit. Thank you

Friendly staff tasty food good service

Excellent food, the king prawn purri was wonderful. Met the new owners and they are very friendly too

The dawat owners have taken over from Diplus. How lucky are we. The food is delicious. Great selection. My son had the Indian style burger. And he is fussy. He loved it. The food after three takeaways has gotten better and better. Very reasonable prices. Great value for money. Can't wait to have a sit down. And they are BYO. Happy days. I base an Indian on their onion bahjis. They are amazing. Even ordered extra ones this time. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic food and service !The atmosphere is great and the service amazing ,I'd definitely return and highly recommend 5 stars is not enough !

I eat a lot of curry but believe me, this is probably the best curry I've had in the 45 years that I have been visiting various restaurants. Also the service was amazing.

Delicious take away , chicken tikka biryani with a massala sauce.

This restaurant is well worth a visit the food 8s fantastic, the ingredients are fresh. Throughly enjoyed and will visit again. Staff are friendly and ery accommodating.

Fantastic - great food and speedy friendly service! Diolch yn fawr

Whilst visiting family in port Talbot we decided on eating here based on reviews read online. We were not disappointed , the food was tasty, plentiful and very well presented, one of our party is vegetarian as they gave allergies to dairy products so asked the waitress for some recommendations, they recommended a dupiaza which didn’t disappoint. The restaurant is clean, staff very attentive and the atmosphere very pleasant. We will return here on our next visit.

Lovely meal last night. All dishes were tasty and well cooked. First time from this restaurant, but not our last.

Fantastic meal worth the wait thank you for the wine

A nice quiet restaurant with friendly staff

Everyone has their fave place to eat n diplus is defo mine. Whether it's sit in or takeaway the service and food is always top class...the Bombay dream is gorgeous.

Banging best Indian food in port talbot

Stunning takeaway. Saag rice, saag Aloo, Chicken Jalfrezi, Garlic & Coriander naan, Chicken Tikka kebab. Full of flavour. Ready on collection. Always polite,helpful and friendly staff.

That was the worst Indian food I've had. I ordered chicken tikka massala mushroom rice keema nan and prawn cocktail starter. The prawn cocktail was, well a lettuce cocktail not many prawns. The rice and tikka was a plate of slop all runny and tasted like a bad rice pudding. That's the last time I spend my money there wish i had stuck to my usiall Elatchi express. Best indian in town. Diplus a little tip. Get a proper chef

Diplu's is one of our favourite Indian restaurants. My partner and I booked a table for Valentine's night. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and they have lovely traditional music in the background. The staff are very courteous and welcoming. Once sat at the table, which was decorated with a sprinkle of red glitter hearts, we were given free champagne. We had chicken saag, lamb biryani, lamb madras and keema naan. Thoroughly enjoyed and will definitely be back soon. Many thanks

Great service and very nice food! Will be returning!

Visited for the first time with my partner this afternoon. Great food. Speedy service. The two girls that served us were lovely. And very helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Great service top cook and buffet on Sunday.

Good service, pleasant staff. Good food.

Again. Delicious well cooked food.

Really fast delivery. Enjoyed the tikka we ordered although we wasnt keen on the buttered chicken x

Me and my girlfriend are regulars here. Great food, service and selection of food. Takeaways are also excellent. Lovely atmosphere, especially on a weekend when it is busy. Keep up the good work!

We visited for my mother’s birthday. The choice of food was good, and the potions were excellent along with the service which was prompt and professional. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Best Indian Take-away I've had by far, really enjoyed thank you... will be back ;-)

Yeah.. Thats one thing you surely gone try for vegans. .. It's deliciously.. Not much option available considering the menu and budgeted restaurant for dinner and lunch surely.. Indian cuisine is good worthy of a try. . A little conjusted place to move when it's packed with people..

Great food great customer service regular visits from us

Fantastic value for money with their sunday buffet

First time visit and had a fabulous Sunday buffet here. Although not a huge choice everything was attractive and very tasty. Nice decor and friendly staff too. Will definatately return.

Our first visit to this local Indian Restaurant in Port Talbot impressed us so much, we had to write a review...Nicely decorated, great atmosphere and impeccably clean. When the food arrived it was piping hot, with amazing authentic Indian flavours and colours. It would be hard to find another Indian Restaurant locally with this level of quality, service and ambience.After paying the bill, we were offered a private taxi service for our journey home, which is operated by one of the staff. Not your normal taxi...a brand new immaculate car with leather interior and reasonable rates. We would highly recommend this restaurant, even if you live outside Port Talbot as it is literally just off the M4 Junction 40, if you prefer to drive. Looking forward to our return visit!

Well, I'm certainly glad I booked a table here. From the moment we walked in we were looked after. Shown to our seats and offered a drink straight away. Very comprehensive menu with something for everyone. Fantastic starters and superbly cooked main meal. Generous portions to the point that we could not eat our dessert, however it was suggested we take them home with us, which we did. Very friendly staff, reasonably priced and an overall pleasant experience. I will return.

Been to this place many times.The service is brilliant and food amazing .will definately be returning Again and again

Good service and for was realy nice

Visited on a quiet Wednesday evening and took advantage of the special offer banquet night. Service was excellent as was the food which was among the best curry we've eaten. Staff were friendly and efficient. Well worth a visit!

Visit here regularly and never disappointed - Front of House are Fab and food always exceptional...Can really recommend the King Prawn Biryani and Momo Chicken (lovely blend of spices and almond). Service is faultless, if you have any special requirements, just speak to them.

Great place to go and relax with friends. Everything was perfect. The welcome, the food, the friendly staff, who go to great lengths to talk to us and explain the menu, they seemed to genuinely care about whether or not we were having a good time, we couldn't fault anything. The food is tasty and plentiful and it’s the only Indian restaurant we know with a great cocktail menu. Head and shoulders above all the rest.

Immediate welcome!! Warm atmosphere! There is no where in the immediate vicinity to equal this restaurant. In fact I would include Swansea and Cardiff. I have also eaten in Asian restaurants Birmingham and London and really this is so consist it is hard to beat!!

Excellent food and service and restaurant beautifully designed and clean xxx

Friendly welcoming service on arrival food fantastic from starters to main course then onto desserts n lovely end to a great evening Big thank you to all see you soon.

Called in for the Sunday buffet and was amazing lots of food to choose from superb quality and a great atmosphere

Eight of us were dining, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Staff very friendly and go out of their way for you. We all had a starters, and everyone enjoyed. Main meals were beautiful, well prepared and presented and very tasty. I had keema rice and chicken Jalfrazi, which was lovely and spicy, just as it should be. The onion bhajee's are a 'must have', and the Keema Naan was beautiful. We also had pompadums before our meal which I would also recommend. We had a lovely evening with lovely food and will definitely be going back.

staff are very attentive and give good advice on the meals on the menu. We have visited frequently and have always been very pleased with the food and the cost.

Stunning food and amazing service. Love the Sunday buffet. Different dishes every week. Freshness of the dishes are amazing.

Beautiful food, always full of flavor whether it’s spicy hot or sweet & mild nothing is too much trouble for them very attentive staff, great selection on the bar, from you Indian beers, spirits and now newly introduced cocktail menu,

Fantastic food, excellent service and delivered on time, and a lovely friendly driver.

Just had a meal from here was really looking forward to it as we don't eat out as a rule Worst Indian food no taste to it like water rice was like it just came out the fridge I had garlic mushrooms they were like tin mushrooms in water forgot the garlic the lamb balti no taste to it at all and the tandoori mixed grill well the seasoning was like it was old out of date lost it's taste to it wouldn't eat from here again

Had a takeaway. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Bland and tasteless. Had a set meal for 2 and it went in the rubbish bin

Went there on a Sunday and discovered they do a buffet. Amazing dishes. Really tasty and wide variety of dishes.

Nice and tasty food. Fresh ingredients. Wide menu to choose from. Friendly staff! Clean and tidy restraunt

Had another lovely meal in Diplu's. One of our favourite places

just had the buffet which started today got to say it was lovely

We eat at this restaurant weekly, we’ve never failed to have a good meal, loving the upgrade of crockery & cutlery and the variations of Gins! 😊 cocktails also available now, nothing is too much trouble, ask and they’ll do their best to please A*

Super tasty food and great service!

Enjoyed the food throughly! especially the eye candy (waitresses and owners). especially Andy. couldn’t of enjoyed my food more.

Best Indian cuisine restaurant around. Delicious food and excellent service.

Wow. From the moment we walked through the door we knew we were in for a treat. The customer service was wonderful, the whole place is clean and well looked after, the staff were attentive and friendly and the food was.... well, the food was exceptional. Fresh, fragrant and very tasty, not a trace of the usual generic curry sauce so often served. I would highly recommend the sizzling king prawns!! They were the size of my hand!
